The United States of America went to the moon.

What to people think now days?

*awaits epic irc copy paste ace versus fearsome flame war*

The moon landings were real, anyone who thinks they are fake has mental issues.

-Waits-

I really don't know...The logistics to even pull off something like that is mind boggling. Half of our flights just to get out of orbit in those days failed, so your telling me they had a flawless entrance with no damage, then a flawless takeoff from the moon?

Yep.

Well hey, the odds of that all working out to a T is the equivalent of playing russian roulette with 3 bullets. I guess in the end most things are possible.

http://www.ufos-aliens.co.uk/cosmicapollo.html It's a conspiracy! I read a few articles on this several years ago, kind of interesting if you're the skeptical type...back then it was all about "American pride' and beating the Russians...we got off to a terrible start after Kennedy's promise of landing on the moon by the end of the 60's. Our first vehicle designed to get there resulted in 3 astronauts dying in a fire on Apollo 1 in a test facility. So a few people think to live up to Kennedy's promise and to justify all the money spent on NASA that we faked it. It is kind of strange to me that with all the vast improvements in technology that we haven't been back in over 30 years, but then again there's nothing there but rocks and dust. I think I read that the Apollo command module's on board computer is equivalent to a modern day cell phone lol. Pretty impressive if they did manage to do that with so little back then. And no I don't get my info on this just from UFO sites, I'm an astronomy nut

I believe what ever you want me to believe.
I supose all those satelites iorbiting the earth are hoaxes too.

i read another conspiracy theory thing about how it looked like it was shot on a stage, was because when Armstrong went up he saw UFO's??? he was prob just tripping balls from going into outerspace...... but ya... i guess thats why they shot it in a studio afterwards???

lol??

Theres a BUNCH of UFO sightings by astronauts in orbit, they just choose not to release it when it happens. Its nothing new or rare.

I for one truly think that they did go to the moon since they have mirrors up there to bounce back laser signals sent to the moon.

Its called astro-physics. Nasa has scientists with large brains who calculated gravitational effects, thrust, angle...

They used actual computers and tested and stuff.
They ran test after test and developed new technology.
They even fried a few astronauts getting to the moon.

Its all in the history books and stuff.

The notion that 1000 Nasa scientists and admin have kept a fake landing secret all this time is absurd.
The statistical chances of pulling off a hoax are zero and far lower than landing on the moon.

agreed, one can make anything look like it was fake.

There is no Moone.

Damn it!! Now what do I do without the cheese at the end of the maze? D:

The cheese is a lie!

I'm sure they did but I'm not sure if they did it in the official date and official astronauts.

I plan to retire on the dark side of the moon, which, in addition to being lushly forested and home to several species of faeries, is also apparently the primal source of some pretty interesting music.

So anyway, of course the landing was faked! Do you see any trees in the vids or pics?

Lawl nasa, next time at least add some color to your shitty 2 min photoshop job... fucking nubs.

I think it's a realy fact
But it's dificult to know

I'm sure they did but I'm not sure if they did it in the official date and official astronauts.

Hmmm I guess I think the same.

That's no moon, it's a space station.

GUYS!

I'm worried... theres this big bright round thing in the sky! Who put it there?

OMFG I cant believe this made it to poll status and that people are actually debating this.

Somewhere Fearsome or Ace (maybe both?) is laughing his/their ass off writing a paper on Urban Myths and Legends or something of that sort.

This one is new what are you suggesting they faked the first one and then in like 2005 or something went to stage the scene?

First American on the moon was a woman.

I'm going to lean towards a no, they did not. It was a race after all...let communist russia beat us? ha, never. But I do think it happened shortly there after. I say we induce Armstrong with some truth serum and find the real can of beans. Unless the government brain washed him, so the real truth never comes out...then its just a waste of time.

Now, Im all for space exploration, what Im not sure of is why don't they stop spending billions on pointless missions like gathering samples on planets we know will never be habitable or have no real use to us. At least for a year, then we could shit those billions into the economy, into assistance programs, etc... at the moment it seems to be a waste. I feel one year of studying pointless rocks on a pointless planet will not set back the scientific study of the universe (in respects to those studies) by 20 years or something....not like we're every really going to do anything productive in space for a long while anyways....maybe in the year 3000 there may be some headway in technology to make space a profitable enterprise.

There are studies going on that are worth it...I'm just saying cut the stupid ones that wanna-be scientist are doing so they can live off the federal grants and have something to do. For a little while at least. It will be interesting seeing Obama bin Ladens, whoops, Im mean Barack Obama's budget plan. I have no idea on his stand point for the space programs. All I know his he's trying to turn us into Canada, kind of. Then we will just have to invade ourselves. Because we all know Canada will soon be ours.

Mulder, Scully......where are YOU???
